    Verdict

    Few Are Chosen won over C&D last August and finished ahead of Mount Helicon in the Alleged Stakes at the Curragh in April. She didn't last home over 1m4f at the Curragh on her most recent outing but, along with the lightly-raced Looks All Right, Tracey Collins' mare looks to be facing a very stiff task at the weights against the geldings today. Mount Helicon is 4lb better off than at the Curragh and should turn the tables but WAYDOWNSOUTH is fancied to come out on top overall if reproducing the form of his excellent third in the Listed Wolferton Handicap at Royal Ascot 11 days ago.
